Gunma, Japan, 1947), a pivotal figure in international contemporary photography.

The series was published in 1981 and acclaimed for its homage to the ... More | | John Chiara, Coral, Carolina, Russia, 2023. Camera Obscura Ilfochrome Photograph, Unique, 48 x 39 inches.

More Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain presents Aline Bouvy: Hot Flashes LUXEMBOURG.- Is it just me, or is it hot in here?

In several places, on multiple levels, something is missing or malfunctioning, but the overall structure appears to be well-scripted.

Her prolific, protean, at times disturbing works draw on the imagery ... More First North American presentation of Claudia Alarcón and Silät's work opens at The Gund at Kenyon College GAMBIER, OH.- From its Latin root, translatio, meaning to carry across, translation invites us to consider not sameness, but movement.

The same is true of the woven forms presented in Everyday Anew. Informed by deeply collective actions, each piece carries across more than materialit carries memory, knowledge, resistance, and the layered meanings of place, time, and relation. At its heart is the work of the Silät collective, a network of more than 100 Wichà women weavers from the Gran Chaco region of Argentina. Their practice, grounded in ancestral knowledge and the use of chaguar, a native plant fiber, is in constant transformationof material, form, and process.
